Xia Hunaot stood up after posting the update: "You guys keep chatting here. I need to go to the League headquarters. Such a big event is difficult to handle without my personal involvement."
Xia Hunaot tidied his clothes, looked down, then took out a set of blue formal wear from his backpack: "This is considered a formal occasion, I think it's better to wear this."
Xia Hunaot put on the formal wear, then took it off: "What am I doing, it's only been a few years, and these clothes don't fit me anymore. Xiao Yu, it looks like I'll have to trouble you to design a new set of clothes for me."
Changing back to his sportswear, Xia Hunaot grabbed Yu Longdu and left the experimental base, saying as he walked, "You guys can keep watching TV. I think it won't be long before I appear."
Xia Hunaot strode away, while Shen Yu and the others exchanged glances and sat at the table, waiting for Xia Hunaot's so-called appearance. After Xia Hunaot and Yu Longdu left the laboratory, they had Gardevoir use Teleport to take them to the outside of the Pokémon League headquarters.
The main road outside the League headquarters was already crowded. Xia Hunaot clicked his tongue and shook his head: "It's so nice to just wait at home. Why do you have to block the entrance demanding an explanation? With all of you shouting like this, even if the League were full of Explouds, they couldn't stand it."
Yu Longdu on the side smiled: "Exploud's soundproof ability doesn't hinder communication."
Xia Hunaot pointed to the guy in front of the crowd shouting into a megaphone with all his might: "This isn't communication, it's already a move combined. Or rather, that guy alone is a move."
Yu Longdu took out his phone: "I'll find someone to check which faction this guy belongs to. The others aren't as agitated as him."
Yu Longdu casually took a photo, then walked into the League headquarters with Xia Hunaot. In the direction they were heading, people parted ways. This was Xia Hunaot's influence. Currently, there were very few younger trainers in the entire Minglong Kingdom who were stronger than him.
Xia Hunaot walked along the path cleared by the crowd and soon arrived behind the guy with the megaphone. Logically, people should notice when the noise around them stops. However, this guy was completely unaffected, still holding the megaphone and shouting at the top of his lungs.
Xia Hunaot watched this guy and couldn't help but invent a new move: Decibel Attack. Normal type, classified as Special Attack, accuracy 100, PP 15. Power depends on how many decibels you shout. As for the guy in front of him, his megaphone was modified, so its power was definitely over eighty.
Xia Hunaot picked at his ears, then reached out and gently patted his shoulder. The man with the megaphone turned around: "What are you doing!"
Even though he had been listening for quite some time, it was still quite powerful to have someone turn around and face him directly. Xia Hunaot's ears and head buzzed, and he directly snatched the megaphone.
"Excuse me, buddy, what are you guys doing here?"
"Of course, we're here for an explanation! Lingyao Star is going to be destroyed, why aren't they doing anything to organize an evacuation!"
Xia Hunaot pointed at the office building: "Look, this in front of you is the office building. It's quite expensive to build, and the materials used to ensure the efficiency of the office staff are also very costly. The soundproofing performance is top-notch. It's not comparable to the noise-canceling earbuds you're wearing."
Hearing this, the guy with the megaphone took out a pair of noise-canceling earbuds from his ears: "You saw through it. Then tell me, what should I do to get them to come out and give an explanation."
Xia Hunaot put his arm around his shoulder: "Let me tell you, I've been inside this building. With the decoration of this building, let alone you shouting at the top of your lungs and not reaching a hundred decibels, even if you used a hundred-decibel speaker here, you wouldn't hear much inside. Otherwise, why do you think no one ever organizes protests here? Everyone knows they can't be heard inside. This is also why the building is nicknamed the Exploud building."
The other party snatched the megaphone back: "Yes, I understand. You just need to tell me how to get them out."
Xia Hunaot raised his left hand and pointed at the entrance: "Charge in and shout. The closer you are, the more influential it will be. You can do it."
After Xia Hunaot finished speaking, he saw the guy raise his megaphone, rally the crowd, and then rush into the Pokémon League office building.
Yu Longdu and everyone present were stunned. Has the world changed? Is there such a person? Xia Hunaot suppressed his laughter and turned around: "Alright, alright, everyone, don't follow this silly kid and make a scene. Didn't you see my post? If all else fails, go home and watch TV. I'll give an explanation on TV later. Everyone rest assured."
After sending everyone home, Xia Hunaot and Yu Longdu turned and entered the office building. As soon as they entered, they saw the silly kid being restrained by the League security guards. Meng Tianya curiously "researched": "Thank you for tricking him in. If he had stayed outside, it would have been difficult for us to handle."
"Investigate him properly. I originally thought this was targeted at the Minglong Kingdom Pokémon League, but looking at him, he's just a second-rate idiot hired by an anti-human organization. He actually believed I would help him harm the League."
"By the way, what kind of illusion did you show him? How did this kid get so bold to come in?" Meng Tianya said, poking his head.
"I had Mewtwo give him an illusion of 'responding to a thousand calls,' but he's truly a bit too foolish."
Yu Longdu shook his head: "Indeed. Although it's said that the masses are innocent, a leader like him can't be let go."
"Take him away. I'll take you all to see Chairman Malanqi."
...
A group of people went upstairs and arrived at Malanqi's office: "Chairman Ma, you're quite relaxed."
Malanqi put down his phone: "I saw your post. No big deal, is it?"
"Chairman Ma, you trust me that much."
"Your information is definitely more accurate than our wild guesses. Tell us, what exactly happened? And if you have any wild guesses, tell us as well..."
...
Hours later, Shen Yu and the others, who were waiting for Xia Hunaot in the laboratory, had their attention completely on Mew, even though the TV was on. Frankly, Xia Hunaot, that scoundrel, was not as cute as Mew. Moreover, Mew, having finally caught a Mewtwo and with Xia Hunaot out, had the perfect opportunity to play with Shen Yu and the others.
At this moment, Shen Yu and the others were making Poké Balls with Mew. Zhang Hong pointed at the TV: "Quick, look, it's Boss Xia, it's Boss Xia!"
Everyone turned to look at the TV and saw Xia Hunaot sitting behind a table with a young woman.
"Good evening, viewers. It is now seven thirty in the evening, and welcome to tonight's Pokémon Evening News..."
Zhang Hong stroked his chin: "This young lady looks so familiar. Have I seen her somewhere before?"
"It's the young lady who was on the commentary panel with Xia Hunaot during the college student Pokémon competition."
Mu Zhishui and the others watched the program with great interest. On the other side of the camera:
"I believe everyone wants to know what happened today. Now, let's let our special correspondent, Xia Hunaot, the idol of millions of girls, tell us."
Xia Hunaot looked at the camera: "First of all, let's correct one thing. Her saying I'm an idol just now was inappropriate wording."
"Oh? Are you afraid your girlfriend will be jealous?"
"No, I mean, I should be the dream lover of billions of girls. Alright, let's stop here. Let's first talk about what happened this afternoon."
Xia Hunaot reached under the table and took out a sphere. This was a common Lingyao planetarium sold on the market. It could be disassembled with a press and was used to review Pokémon distribution for researchers.
Xia Hunaot pressed the sphere and disassembled it: "As everyone knows, not long ago, our Lingyao Star just shattered like this. But please don't panic, this is normal. When people have a cold, their lungs hurt from coughing. This is just Lingyao Star coughing a bit too hard."
Xia Hunaot's strange analogy added more...
"So, may I ask how long this kind of cough will last?"
Xia Hunaot spread his hands: "It's hard to say. My sources of information haven't provided an answer. After all, Lingyao Star's level is too high, and even legendary Pokémon can't estimate it accurately."
"In other words, this incident will not have a significant impact on everyone's lives, and you can continue your normal lives, is that correct?"
"Yes, I believe everyone should also know what happened at our League headquarters this afternoon. Regarding this matter, we advise everyone not to believe rumors casually. No matter what happens, the League will always be your solid support."
Seeing Xia Hunaot hesitate, the host began to probe: "You look like you have some untold revelations. Please rest assured, although we are an official program, we are not affiliated with the League News. You can speak boldly."
Xia Hunaot placed the last piece of the planetarium back: "Alright, because of what happened this afternoon, we had a small meeting. We discussed that the psychological resilience of young trainers is currently too poor. Therefore, we have decided to use this year's college entrance examination as a pilot, increasing the difficulty and adding more psychological assessment."
Xia Hunaot smiled as he delivered this terrible news that made countless students in front of the TV cry out in despair. The host, looking at Xia Hunaot's smile, asked: "You don't seem too worried about the impact of this matter?"
Xia Hunaot spun the planetarium: "What am I worried about? I'm not taking the exam anyway. Besides, you surrounded the League headquarters because of a rumor, and you can't let me spread a rumor back, right? That doesn't make sense."
